Social science is often hampered by the fact
that people are hesitant to discuss their beliefs for fear of ridicule. This is the case in research on folk medical
practices, particularly when the
subjects know that society in general, and health care professionals in particular, disvalue such folk
practices. Practitioners of folk
medicine are often less than eager to share their knowledge, in part because they wish to avoid
exploitation of their knowledge and in part for fear of criticism.According to this paragraph, which one of the following statements is

Participatory
sports are booming today because people no longer look at sports as being
painful. People have changed sports to
fit their abilities. Few are track
stars, but there are many joggers. Not everyone can master the slopes, but almost everyone can ski
cross-country. Camping isn’t rough in a
plush recreational vehicle.
Today’s
sports participants aren’t all supermen either;
many are women. Male or
female, few are super. There are just as many, if not more,
hard-core athletes as there used to be,
but their ranks have been swelled by people who never thought they had
athletics in them, or those who thought
sports and games were just tricks for kids.
A participation-consciousness has emerged from this generation.
Whatever
started it, recreation as an industry
now seems unstoppable. Manufacturers
make new products such as folding canoes,
windshields for bikes, and gum
that quenches thirst. Most of the
products sell. So do hundreds of models
of skis and jogging shoes. Bookstores
have stacks of models and texts on recreation.
Every minor sport has its own magazine,
and skateboarding has three.
Several newspapers have whole sections devoted to recreation.
Despite
claims for almost every minor sport that it is the fastest growing activity in
the country, the sports that really are
growing the fastest are those in which adults can learn and participate at any
age and that make them feel better all day long. Racquetball,
jogging, and cross-country skiing
top the list. The goal is fitness, not Tarzan physiques. Adults simply want healthier hearts and
lungs.According to the passage, participatory sports are becoming more
popular because:

A.&nbsp

People like to dress in jogging outfits, ski outfits, etc.

B.&nbsp

People no longer think sports are entertaining.

C.&nbsp

Sports promoters are attempting to appeal to the masses.

D.&nbsp

People have found out they don’t have to strain to play.
